I currently have my library on Onedrive.

I think it probably isn't, and that I need to use a file status of "always keep on this device" so that the files are accessible by Calibre. Am I correct here?
It's not possible as the Onedrive app is a two-way sync. There is no one-way sync. That said, it's a very bad idea to keep your only copy of your library on any cloud server. There's a very good chance of data loss and/or corruption.

To keep your library on Onedrive, you will need to have a local copy of your library and every so often, sync it with the Onedrive directory. Use FreeFileSync for that. So that means you will need to have two copies of your library on your computer.

So please, forget cloud storage exists if you don't have the disk space for two complete copies of your library.
